Pointy found a mystery: how do plants grow in dry soil? The answer involves sunlight, air, and something invisible called photosynthesis!

Pointy found something growing β but where did it come from?

They built a mini experiment to see what plants do with sunlight!

Plants turn sunlight, water and air into FOOD β photosynthesis!
TRY THIS AT HOME! Plant a seed and watch it grow over 2 weeks. Fill a clear cup with soil, plant a bean seed 1 inch deep, water it, and put it in sunlight. Every day, draw what you see. Measure the stem height with a ruler. Write down: Day 1 β seed. Day 3 β root appears. Day 5 β sprout! Day 7 β first leaf! By Day 14, you have a plant that turned light + water + air into LEAVES! That's photosynthesis β your plant is eating sunlight!
